    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    So, we should just be honest that we were trying to show that she'd return to the USA if necessary so we didn't put her name on anything? Would including a travel history document that shows she only crosses to the USA for brief periods of time and maybe some letters from family be ok? I wish I...

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    None of those :( we could get a crossing history document from the border that would show that she only goes to the USA a couple of times per week and always returns at night. She's spent every night here since I came to Canada and the only time she has spent overnight in the USA is when we were...

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    Ugh, another question. Thanks so much for the information so far guys it's been a big help! The inland application asks for documents proving that she lives here in Canada. All I have is a TRP. We didn't put her name on anything (mortgage, bills, etc.) because she is a temporary resident and...

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    So if I apply inland and TRP is refused for renewal does she still have to go back to the US while the app is processing? Should we apply for a work permit too? Sorry for all the questions!

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    Yes she's currently living with me under the TRP. But, the issue is that the TRP is set to expire in almost two weeks. If I send it this week, and then the TRP isn't renewed, wouldn't that be misrepresentation because I said she has a TRP on the sponsorship application? As for applying inland...

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    That makes sense! We don't have children (just cats) so it looks like we won't have to complete that. I was really confused about having to get every family member checked medically but now that you've explained it, it makes more sense. :)

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    Also, I read this on the website "All of your family members need to pass a medical exam, even if they aren’t applying to come to Canada with you. Failure to declare and have family members examined will affect your application, and you will be unable to sponsor them in the future." What? So...

    Can someone help assuage my (probably illogical) fears? Spousal Sponsorship.

    My wife is an American citizen and I'm a dual citizen. We currently both live in Canada together because she had a TRP for inadmissibility that allowed her to remain in Canada for the duration of her TRP. It was multiple entry so she could still go to work and school in the USA. We finally got...

    Stuck on a question about address

    Ok so, here's my issue. My wife has a TRP which allows multiple entry (she can come and go from Canada) because she was criminally inadmissible for shoplifting misdemeanour in the USA. She has been staying with me in Canada under a valid TRP but she still has bills in the USA, school, and work...

    Worked everything out regarding TRP but now I have another question.

    Awesome!!! Sorry, I must have misread. Thank you for the information, it helps a lot. :)

    Worked everything out regarding TRP but now I have another question.

    Hi Mrs. December, thank you so much! We had actually requested prints before when we thought we would be able to go through the spousal sponsorship process. It took a long time to get it (approximately 2-3 months) back from the FBI following the steps you outlined above. Should we try through...

    I'm so confused about criminal rehabilitation...

    So just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, since she is American, it is possible to apply for the rehabilitation at the border? If so, that's good, I was starting to get paranoid that the agent who spoke to us gave us the wrong information.

    I'm so confused about criminal rehabilitation...

    My wife is here on a temporary residence permit and it is good until December 2018. She is eligible for criminal rehabilitation at the end of October. When she was 18, she shoplifted a $50 shirt in the USA and got caught. She went to court, did not receive jail time or probation or community...

    Worked everything out regarding TRP but now I have another question.

    I posted a few months back. My wife and I had been crossing the border almost every day between the US and Canada. I'm a Canadian citizen and she has a TRP (temporary resident permit) not to be confused with a TRV (temporary resident visa). We had some issues at a different port of entry we went...

    Sponsorship (Spousal) questions

    I've been posting a lot lately since a run in with a particularly mean border officer. My wife and I had all of our sponsorship application done when we found out she might be inadmissible. So, we kind of put the sponsorship application on the back burner, got my wife a TRP (for criminal...

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    Thank you Buletruck. So, that same night we crossed our usual border with no problem. Was it illegal of us to do so? I ask because she was forced to sign an "Allowed to Leave" form at the border but we were not told she couldn't return within a prescribed amount of time. The official's exact...

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    The reason, I guess, why I was so upset is the fact that we did have a ton of documentation in order and we offered to show it to the CBSA officer and he refused to even look. We had the following: - Proof that my wife pays rent on her room in the USA. - Proof that she pays internet/cable at...

    Having doubts about wife's inadmissibility

    Ok, thank you! I just wasn't sure if it was serious enough to result in inadmissibility. :)

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    I do see a doctor. I fail to see how having an emotional reaction to a stressful situation makes me unstable.
